My Springs Issue

Post by Rambo »

hello all,
I need some advice/help with a certain issue with my springs ,
when i bought my fto is has very low springs so i got them streched at pedders for $300...ride is unsurprisingly smooth
and its been about 9 months and they are slowly going back down, i was wondering is there any higher aftermarket ones available ,i always see lowered springs but never one to increase height..
any suggestions on type of springs i could get... i dont want to look like a rally car but id do want a nice clearance as i live in the mountains with 1ft speed humps..haha
:roll:

thanks in advance Rambo :)

thats your problem right there
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Rambo, FYI I also have some stock vR springs (which I believe are firmer than the stock springs) on offer if you want them.

I'll even be up in the mountains for Easter so I could possibly drop them at your door if you are lucky :-P

lol, dont try & steal my sale with bs.

The only difference between stock springs was on the prefacelift models, the springs in the Auto's were ever so slightly heavier than the manual springs - to compensate for the extra weight of the tip box.

From 97 on, they standardised the lot.

Lol.... Don't blame me, blame the poms. I read that on FTOOC....if my membership hadn't expired I would find you the guilty BS articles :-)

Only reason I believed it is because I now have Tein S-techs which were meant to be very stiff and my old springs were firmer and more responsive - maybe they aren't stock even though they look it.
